    new pc build

    hey guys im looking to build my own computer for the first time and i need a little help

    Budget-500-600 absolute max would be 700
    Resolution-1920x1080
    Games / Settings Desired- i dont really care about ultra but i guess more top end.
    Any other intensive software or special things you do (Frequent video encoding, 3D modeling, etc) not really
    Country-us
    Parts that can be reused- i dont know if i should reuse my videocard but its a GeForce gtx460 ill take opinions on that and my power supply is pretty much brand new.

    thanks for the help.

    Wow, never heard of that Rocketfish and it's not even listed on PCPartPicker, not a single model. Not listed on Amazon also. So, yea, sound really fishy PSU :/

    This will handle wow on ultra, might need to lower settings a bit for 25's though.
    It's hard on that budget to get i5-4670k in:

    Yea see that is totally over budget. If you can save up money later, you can strip the 2nd build and buy the rest of the parts when you get more money, the barebones would be:

    Later you can buy new PSU, then add SSD and finally aftermarket cooler. In that order.
